Description
Excerpt from Martyred Missionaries of the China Inland Mission: With a Record of the Perils Sufferings of Some Who Escaped
We have lost much in losing such fellow-workers, but all we have lost the lord Jesus has gained, and do not our inmost souls say, He is worthy. We cannot forget His words, uttered on the eve of His own martyrdom, Father, I long (lit) that those whom Thou hast given Me be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory. Shall we regret that His longing is fulfilled?
But ah, poor China has lost many of her best friends, native and foreign! Will not some hear the voice of the Master calling them to go out and take the place of those called higher, to shepherd the ?ocks now scattered and bereaved, and to gather the fruit of the life-work as well as of the terrible suffering and death of our native and foreign brethren and sisters who have gone to their reward?
